Mrs. Edward Anderson and meets at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning with the exception of the first Supday of each month when they meet for worship with the total church. The department Is beamed at a level to meet the worship needs of the children from 2 to 10 years of age. As the pastor put it, "It is the stepping stone from nursery to adult worship, without forcing the child to sit quietly in morning worship with the question on its mind as to why must it be quiet. We all have to learn how to worship God, and this is away to teach children so that they can understand the meaning of worship and at the same time be able to worship at their own age level.” Other workers in the junior church department are: Mrs. Mary Stucky, Mrs. Lucy Daniels, and Mrs. Mary Jessup.
